Abstract

Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis are combined by developing a logical theory for concept graphs of relational contexts. Therefore, concept graphs are introduced as syntactical constructs, and their semantics is defined based on relational contexts. For this contextual logic, a sound and complete system of inference rules is presented and a standard graph is introduced that entails all concept graphs being valid in a given relational context. A possible use for conceptual knowledge representation and processing is suggested.
